Lottery Awards for All 'Drop In' Surgeries

Looking for a grant of £300 - £10,000 for your group or organisation’s activities?

Could your group be eligible for funding from the Lottery’s Awards for All programme?

High Peak CVS is offering you the chance to come and discuss your group’s activities and funding needs with BIG Lottery Fund’s Development Officer, Matthew Rowe.

Each ‘Drop-In’ session will last ½ hour and will give you a chance of a 1-1 chat with Matt Rowe (our local Lottery Development Officer) and High Peak CVS’s funding advisor, Esther Jones about the project or activity that you would like funding for, its suitability for Awards for All funding (or signposting to alternative funders) and tips on what to emphasize in your bid.

Appointments need to be booked in advance - If there is enough interest we will run sessions in the afternoon as well as the morning!

To book a time please ring High Peak CVS on 01663 735 350 or email esther@highpeakcvs.org.uk with the name of your group, your preferred time of day and a daytime phone number.

Do bring a fellow committee member or trustee with you to this Drop-In if you would like!

FREE Funding Workshop – ‘Reaching Communities’

The BIG Lottery Fund also offers a larger grants programme called ‘Reaching Communities’. This offers grants to community organizations and groups of £10,001 - £500,000 for revenue projects and up to £50,000 and in some instances £500,000 for capital projects that help people and communities who are ‘most in need’.

High Peak CVS is joining forces with Derbyshire Dales CVS to offer a FREE workshop on the ‘Reaching Communities’ programme for groups and organizations who are going to apply or are considering applying.

The workshop will be lead by Matthew Rowe, BIG Lottery Development Officer, and will be very much an information-based workshop, focusing on the main points of the programme including how to describe and evidence the need and the outcomes of your proposed project.

Application to this funding programme is via a two-stage process and is highly competitive. If you are thinking of bidding to it, this workshop is highly recommended!

Places are limited. To book your place on this workshop please contact High Peak CVS on 01663 735 350 or email esther@highpeakcvs.org.uk with your name, the name of your group or organization and a daytime phone number.
